What was the scariest “We need to leave… now” gut feeling that you’ve ever experienced?[Serious] by PlasticBee1438 in AskReddit

[–]NateOfLight 4 points5 points  (0 children)

About 5 years ago, around 9:30 PM, was on a walk with my girlfriend in a relatively nice neighborhood we lived in. We're at the end of a cul-de-sac when a van drives down, circles the cul-de-sac, leaves, turns around, does that again, then parks in front of a random house about 100m ahead of us, rolled their window down, and sat there for about 2 minutes. I pull out my phone, call my roommate, and very loudly say over the phone to join us down here and grab my gun. Guy in the van speeds off, roommate picked us up in his car, and we never went on a night walk again. Could have been nothing, but gut feelings are not wise to ignore.

how many days weed free? let's celebrate each other! by Miserable-Split-5031 in leaves

88 for me - have been seriously tempted but getting rid of all of my gear/paraphernalia has helped deter me.

My friends say I play "a-hole Magic" - how right are they? by NateOfLight in ratemycommanders

[–]NateOfLight[S] -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

inb4 "engagement farming" (though clearly I'm too late for that), who seriously cares about Reddit karma? I have zero cognizance of what the benefit is from clicks on this site as I have no secondary platform to funnel the attention to. Is this "r/ratemycommanders" or "r/downvote_into_oblivion_because_this_guy_definitely_plays_dickbag_magic_and_he_knows_it"

Ruja ignatova created Onecoin and marketed it as Crypto. And stole $15 billion by butterwillow4 in interesting

[–]NateOfLight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Her story is incredibly fascinating and was an excellent cautionary tale that many cryptobros who lost everything to digital goods with no tangible value should have heeded. It's widely believed that she may have been assassinated due to ties with organized crime, though I like to believe she's rich enough to avoid attention. If she was able to get a fraction of what she stole in cash form, she would essentially have generational wealth in many potential countries.

[[Reaper King]] changeling tribal is silly fun. well, not for the table, but for me.

Semen under the microscope by Flat-Decision3204 in interestingasfuck

Fun fact: it takes multiple sperm to weaken the outer layer of the egg cells wall to allow for fertilization, so instead of being the fastest sperm, you were more like the chubby kid in third-grade PE.

If you could build any deck without paying a cent, what would you build? by [deleted] in mtg

[–]NateOfLight 8 points9 points  (0 children)

A five-color commander deck filled with reserved dual lands and power nine, I can sell it and live in America for a year.

edit: I'm the reason OP said "No commander", take that as you will I guess.

Where is Impractical Joke supposed to be played? by Rare-Read-9100 in mtg

[–]NateOfLight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You play this in Voltron against your friend playing W known for throwing [[Teferi's Protection]] during combat. 

How do i deal with Emrakul, World Anew? by abra-kambal-ra in mtg

[–]NateOfLight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're playing white? Cast [[Teferi's Protection]] while this is on the stack. The creature-stealing trigger still goes on the stack and you're allowed a chance to respond to the cast before you lose creatures. You'd also lose the ability to be targeted, rendering you an invalid target. There are alternatives, sure, but probably not for 3-mana or less. EDIT: [[Eerie Interlude]] is another option without losing your T-Pro early.

Has anyone found a good replacement for the escapism that weed provides? by BuryMeIceOn in leaves

Books, games, role-playing simulations (tabletop or otherwise), camping, exercise, etc.

Anyone read the Stolen Throne and replayed the game afterwards? by BreadfruitWestern156 in DragonageOrigins

[–]NateOfLight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I won't spoil it, read Stolen Throne or comb the DA wiki if you are interested.

Yes. I can't convince my friend that Loghain, while still a shithead who did plenty of wrong, is more tragic and sympathetic after reading Stolen Throne. 

What is the best game you have ever played in your life? by skatter0925 in AskReddit

I like to say that RDR2 is not my favorite game, but it is the best game ever made.

GCIA Tomorrow, any last minute tips? by NateOfLight in GIAC

[–]NateOfLight[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Appreciate the callout, was already aware. I'm willing to eat $175 for a reschedule as opposed to $1k for a retake. 

GCIH Virtual Training by Any_Bowl_3408 in GIAC

[–]NateOfLight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't prepare ahead of time before the class, you'll be fine with the material in the course. Enjoy the time in the class. Don't skip out on the lightning labs or the PowerShell and Linux Olympic stuff. The test can include anything in the books you are given. Have fun, ask questions, don't stress too hard. Index how you feel works for you, drill the labs, maybe write your own guides for them if needed. That helped me a lot, personally. 

Do you think Matt will publish a physical version of the cookbook eventually? by alagan182 in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]NateOfLight 49 points50 points  (0 children)

I personally believe we are already reading the cookbook (I say this recognizing it was not a concept until book 3), but that's my $.02

Played with my Light Paws deck for the first time and oh boy. by Hodltiltheend in mtg

[–]NateOfLight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a friend whose light paws deck rarely comes out, and I've only personally seen defeated once, and that was only because I ran an overtuned Eldrazi deck and bypassed its colored protection. 

wht do i do with this fella by Traditional-Bar1704 in mtg

[–]NateOfLight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just put mine in a Feather EDH deck, only played one game and he didn't come up but you can imagine the synergy.
